We wish every cotton farmer
could have attended the late inter-
state convention held at Lake
Charles. They certainly would
have seen and heard enough to
know that the I'll cotton system is
the hardest, longest and the most
continuous of all other avocations
of our Southern people. Speak of
slavery, talk of serfdom, but the
all cotton farmer completes with
any in this respect. Why we
have such farmers we are unable
to say, but such we have. North
ern potatoes, Northern corn, North
ern meat all. yes, everything must
be better bought than raised at
home. just here we would say a
little common sense is needed. Ro-
